Upperbody, Chest, Abdomen: Block bleeding, wipe wound, open wound (with scalpel if needed), reach in and dig around to remove bullet, attempt to repair any inner-body damage that you can, sew wound shut.
Arms & Legs: Possibly remove bullet, more likely to amputate limb
Cannon wounds almost always involved massive shrapnel damage and bleeding that would usually kill you, on the off chance you were alive you might have a broken limb that would be set or shrapnel wounds (various ways to treat)
